My courtyard shelter

Seeing his mother and wife entering the door, Xu Dong quickly stepped forward and took the sack from Yang Lina's hand. This sack seemed to be quite heavy, and it was indeed very heavy in the hand. He couldn't help but curiously said:

"What is it? Why is it so heavy?"

"It's potatoes, I bought twenty kilograms.

��Yang Lina replied casually.

"How...why did you buy so much at once?"

Xu's mother turned around and explained proactively: "Vegetable prices have risen sharply in recent times. Potatoes are durable. Buying more can save some money."

"You really know how to live a good life!" Xu Dong said with a wry smile.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are foods that he never wants to touch again in his life. After all, he ate them for nearly ten years in his previous life, not every day, but every meal.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time. After all, I was happy if I had enough to eat. But after I was reborn, I didn't know if things must be reversed at the extremes. Anyway, I felt nauseated when I saw it.

Xu's mother glared at her younger son fiercely, "Who is he? If you don't know how to speak, just shut up."

Xu Dong quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Yang Lina took the opportunity to raise the convenience bag in her hand and help her husband out: "We also bought a turbot fish, which will be braised in braise in the evening. It must taste very good."

The dinner was very sumptuous, including fish and meat. Xu’s mother also chopped a whole dried goose to make a hot pot. Although the goose meat was a bit fat, it tasted really great.

After having enough wine and food, Xu Dong suddenly patted the dining table, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ahem, Dad, Mom, Nana, I have an idea that I want to discuss with you." Xu Dong said while looking at a few people.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Xu Ma was still as strong as ever.

"Well, isn't it Coco and Lele's birthday the day after tomorrow? I want to hold a party for them at home."

"What...body?" Xu Ma didn't understand.

Yang Lina explained: "Mom, Dongzi is talking about the birthday party."

The Coco sisters were very happy. Many classmates in the class had held parties. They had also attended several parties of their close classmates, so naturally they wanted to have their own party.

"Is this necessary?"

After all, Xu Ma is a person who is used to saving, and she has always disdained such fancy things.

The twins' faces fell.

Xu Dong immediately advised:

"Mom, many of Keke's classmates in their class have held birthday parties, but if our family doesn't hold one, wouldn't it embarrass your granddaughter?

Moreover, the two of them may be ostracized by their classmates because of this. "

"Is there such a statement?" Xu Ma was stunned.

Yang Lina assisted and said: "Mom, it is indeed possible. Besides, it doesn't cost much to hold a banquet. Why not hold one?"

"Grandma..." Lele grabbed Xu Ma's arm and said coquettishly.

Ke Ke followed the same example and grabbed Xu’s father’s arm:

"Grandpa is the best! Grandpa..."

Father Xu immediately surrendered and said with a smile: "Okay, stop shaking it, grandpa agrees, isn't it okay?"

Seeing that the whole family agreed, Xu's mother agreed and the birthday party was scheduled for the evening of April 10th.

…

In a blink of an eye, April 10th arrived. Starting at two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ma and Yang Lina began to deal with the ingredients needed for the birthday party.

Xu Dong specially found colorful ribbons and balloons and decorated the courtyard a little to create an atmosphere.

After school, before five o'clock, the Coco sisters came back with three of their usually close classmates.

The three classmates were one boy and two girls. One of the female classmates had been to the courtyard several times before and knew Xu Ma.

In addition to the three classmates, Xu's mother also invited Wang Xiujuan's family, but they haven't arrived yet.

It was the granddaughters' birthday, and Xu's father also got off work early for a rare occasion. He also prepared a birthday gift for the two of them, which were two identical telephone watches.

"Welcome to our home, classmates." Xu Dong greeted us while standing in the yard with a smile.

"Hello, uncle!" Several classmates were very polite.

Xu Dong led everyone into the living room, turned on the TV, turned around and left. As an adult, he could not play with the children.

As soon as Xu Dong left, Coco picked up the snack box on the table and distributed snacks to the classmates.

"This is delicious, I guarantee you haven't eaten it before."

Everyone said it was delicious. One of the male classmates said that he had not touched snacks for two months, which resonated with the other two female classmates.

"Does your family have no money to buy snacks?" Lele asked curiously.

The male classmate curled his lips: "It's not that I don't have money, it's that I can't buy it even if I have money. The supermarket has long sold out."

"Lele, where do your snacks come from?" a female classmate asked immediately.

Lele thought for a while and explained: "My family used to run a convenience store, maybe it was the leftovers sold in the store!"

In fact, Xu Dong purchased all the snacks in advance, and there were more than a thousand boxes in total, which was a very considerable amount.

After a while, Wang Xiujuan also arrived, accompanied by her daughter-in-law Zheng Yan, and her grandchildren. The whole family except the man of the house was all present.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the birthday banquet officially started. The banquet was in buffet style, and the dining place was under the grape trellis.

Xu Ma and Yang Lina cooked a total of ten dishes, including potato chicken nuggets, braised rabbit, braised goose, braised pomfret, stir-fried donkey meat, steamed ham, tomatoes mixed with sugar, fried bacon with green pepper, stir-fried cabbage and kelp ham soup.

Drinks include red wine, beer, coke and orange juice.

The staple food is rice and steamed dumplings.

Not to mention several classmates, even Wang Xiujuan was stunned by this scene. It is hard to find meat in the market now, but she didn't expect it to be so rich here.

Even if their family has internal channels, they can only eat meat every other day, and the total amount of meat is less than one pound.

"Lao Zhang, your family is really hidden!"

Mother Xu explained with a smile: "These are the only things left at home. I sold air-dried chicken before, and these are the leftovers."

Wang Xiujuan suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have sold air-dried goods, and it was said that they were quite popular in nearby restaurants.

"No wonder! I wonder why your family has so much meat!"

Originally, Wang Xiujuan wanted to take the opportunity to ask if she could spend money to buy some meat to take back, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything. She is a face-saving person, and her face is not thick enough.

Seeing that the children couldn't wait to eat with their plates, Xu Dong announced: "Stop talking, let's eat now, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Wow..."

The buffet lasted for more than an hour, and all the food was gone. The adults and children were full and drank tea with cups in their hands.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Dong personally drove the three classmates home one by one, and gave each of them a big bag of snacks.

When they got home, Xu's mother was seeing off Wang Xiujuan's family, and seemed to be forcing something into their hands.

After the guests left, Xu Dong immediately asked: "Mom, what did you give Aunt Wang just now? Such a big bag, it can't be all meat, right?"

"It's none of your business. Mom gave things for your own good. Just wait." Xu's mother said vaguely.

Xu Dong was confused. How could it be related to him?
